Application filed August 1, 1922. Serial No. 579,023.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, ANDREW IzoLD, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Camp Meade, in the county of Anne Arundel and State of Maryland, have in` vented certain new and useful improvements in lloilet Cases, of which the following` is a speciication'. y

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in toilet cases, particularly serviceable Jfor travelers use.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a generally simplified and improved toilet case embodying a container for toilet i articles having a mirror exposed upon one side wall thereof and involving a pivoted or foldable prop at the opposite side whereby the device may be placed on a table or other support tor convenient use of thc mirror,

i while employing the various toilet articles carried in the container.

' Another object of the invention is to provide the case or container with a comb or like receiving compartment of metal upon 5 the rear side thereof having a struck out tongue adapted to receive the prop in folded or collapsed inoperative condition.

With the above general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature D ot' the invention is better understood, the

same consists of the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

5 In the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a. toilet case constructed in accordance with the present invention shown operatively supported upon a table or the like,

Figure 2 is a view partly in vertical section and partly in rear elevation of the de vice shown in Fig. 1, 4with the prop in inA 5 operative position,

F'gure 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken upon line lll-III of Fig. 1,

Figure 4 is an elevational view of a foldable brush adapted to be supplied with the ,0 toilet case, and

Figure 5 is a fragmentary elevational view of a foldable comb adapted to be received in the comb receiving compartment of the case Referring more in detail to the Several views, the present invention embodies a case orA container `5 per se which may 'have rounded ends and opposed flat front and rear or sidewalls as clearly shown as well as being divided by vertical partitions 6 intol three compartments, the end compa-1t ment being rather or comparatively small, while the intermediatecompartment is of such larger size as to conveniently accommodate a hair or other brush 7. One end compartment is adapted to receive a tube of tooth paste or the like as at 8 while a foldable tooth brush having a double brush head as indicated at #9 may be provided in the other end compartmentl These end compartments may be p-rovided with suitable spring clips 10 adapted to engage the articles 8 and 9 to retain the same. against accidental displacement therein.

The bottom of the case 'is enclosed by a suitable bottom wall and each or' rthe com partments has a pivoted closure or cover, the closures of the end compartments being indicated by the numeral 11 and the closure of the middle compartment being denoted vby the numeral 12. As shown clearly in Fig.2, the closures` 11 are preferably disposedupon an* inclination'r while clips or catches 13 may be provided tov hold the closures 11 and 12 in closing position.

The front wall of thecase 5 has a retaining liange 14 in which the margin of a mirror 15 is retained, and a U-shaped prop or support 16 is: pivoted to the back wall of the case by hinging the ends of the legs of said supports as at 17 to the upper part of the case. Suitable annular supporting spurs 18 may be fastened to the bottom wall of the case so that when the prop 16 is swung as shown in Fig@ 1 the device will be effectively supported in easel arrangement.

A somewhat pan-shaped metallic member 19 having marginal flanges 20 is attached to the back wall of the case substantially centrally thereof7 the means for attaching the same passing through the flanges 20 and the wall of the case, whereby the said wall of the case and the member 19 provide a vertical elongated pocket adapted for reception of a comb 21 or the like. The member 19 has a resilient tongue 22 stamped from the lever end portion of the seme adapted to engage the intermediate or cross member 23 of the prop 16 when the latter is folded against the back of the case 5 in an inoperative position so as to be so held Whe-n the device is not in use. y

As shown in Fig. 4 the tooth brush 9 may consist of a pair of brushes with short shank portions pivotally connected together as at 24 so that the same may be conveniently folded for reception within one of the end compartments of the case. In a like manner, the comb 2l may consist of apair of sections one having a line toothed construction and the other a coarse tooth construction and pivotally connected as at 25 so as to be folded for reception Within the pocket formed by the back Wall of the case 5 and the metallic member 19. The folding of these sections is permitted as the same lie in different planes, the section having the fine teeth being fixed upon one end of the pivot 25 while the other section is fixed upon the other end of said pivot.

The case 5 may be provided with numer ous openings 26 in the upper and lower ends of the end Walls thereof for Ventilating purg poses, so as to insure against dainpness upon the interior of the case and for the general Ventilating purposes.

From the foregoing description it is to be seen that the present invention embodies a neat, compact and complete toilet case which will give great service to travelers for assisting in making their toilet or for shaving and the like.

It is believed that the construction and manner of use as Well as the advantages of the present invention will be readily understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art.

Minor changes may be made in the invenrasaeei tion Without departing from the spirit and scope thereof as claimed.`
